#101 Why Thanksgiving Was Never Meant to Be Comfortable

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “just be thankful” didn’t match what’s really going on in your heart, this episode meets you gently right where you are. Thanksgiving wasn’t created in comfort — it was born in the middle of the Civil War, when the nation was broken, divided, and grieving. And yet, Abraham Lincoln called the people to pause and give thanks, not because life felt easy, but because God was still faithful. In this episode, Eve explores why Thanksgiving was never meant to be casual or convenient, but brave and intentional. Together, we reflect on how gratitude becomes an act of courage, a spiritual posture, and a way of trusting God even when circumstances feel tender or uncertain. This is a different kind of Thanksgiving conversation — one that honors the real emotions people carry while pointing gently back to God’s steady presence and purposeful plan.   CONNECT  WITH ME RESOURCES:  Want just a moment of time set aside for you alone?
